Keep up the good work
That blog story has more holes than your granny’s undies
the more stupid stories you post the more people with the ability to think critically pick up the rubbish you guys come out with

A secretive funding organisation in the United States that guarantees anonymity for its billionaire donors has emerged as a major operator in the climate “counter movement” to undermine the science of global warming, The Independent has learnt.

The Donors Trust, along with its sister group Donors Capital Fund, based in Alexandria, Virginia, is funnelling millions of dollars into the effort to cast doubt on climate change without revealing the identities of its wealthy backers or that they have links to the fossil fuel industry.

However, an audit trail reveals that Donors is being indirectly supported by the American billionaire Charles Koch who, with his brother David, jointly owns a majority stake in Koch Industries, a large oil, gas and chemicals conglomerate based in Kansas.

Lady: Do you drink?
Man: Yes
Lady: How much a day?
Man: 3 six packs
Lady: How much per 6 pack
Man: about $10.00
Lady: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: 15 years
Lady: So one 6 pack cost $10.00 and you have 3 packs a day which puts your
spending each month at $900. In one year, it would be $10,800 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: If in 1 year you spend $10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past
15 years puts your spending at $162,000 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: Do you know that if you hadn’t drunk, that money could have been put
in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound
interest for the past 15 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you drink?
Lady: No
Man: Well – where’s your fucking Ferrari then?

You understand that the corps have around 1.7? tril in accounts from offshore investments waiting for the states to lower corp taxation rates? If they did that money will flow through the usual channels otherwise it’s sitting doing nothing for them.

“Old Jethro’s next door’s a-makin’ moonshine again.” the wife
told her husband.

“How can you tell ?” he asked. “Did you smell it ?”

“Nope. But a bunch of mice from his place came over
here this morning and beat up our cats.”

For Johnboy:

A student from the University of IOWA named Mendy decides to do his thesis on people who sexually abuse animals, and in particular, men who fuck sheep.

He takes a flight to Australia, and meets a sheep farmer and amongst other things asks him how he actually has sex with the sheep. “Well it’s quite simple – you grab the bastard by the tail, hold tight and slip your cock in!”

The student later travels to New Zealand and asks a farmer there the same question. “Ah we’re with the Aussie jokers on that one – grab it by the tail, hold on and fuck it from behind!”

Finally, the student goes to Wales and asks a farmer there how he does it. “Well it’s bloody awkward see – first you find your sheep, then you finds a stone wall, then you grabs the sheep by the front paws, bend its back over the wall and fucks it like that!”

The Student replies “Why don’t you fuck it from behind like they do in Australia and New Zealand?” “Fuck it from behind? Well how else am I supposed to kiss it?”

Professor Higgins at the University of Sydney was giving a lecture on
‘Involuntary Muscle Contraction’ to the first year medical students.
This was not an exciting subject and the professor decided to lighten up the mood.
He pointed to a young woman in the front row and asked,
‘Do you know what your arsehole is doing while you’re having an orgasm?’
She replied, ‘Probably golfing with his mates.’
It took 45 minutes to restore order in the classroom!

A young Arab asks his father, “What is that weird hat you are wearing?”

The father said, “Why, it’s a ‘chechia’ because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun.”

“And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?” asked the young man.

“It’s a ‘djbellah’ because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body.” said the father.

The son asked, “And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?

His father replied, “These are ‘babouches”, which keep us from burning our feet in the desert.”

“So tell me then,” added the boy.

“Yes, my son?”

“Why are you living in Mt Roskill and still wearing this sh!t.

The Lord of the manor returned from his grouse hunt quite a bit
earlier than expected. He entered the master bedroom to change,
and found her Ladyship making passionate love to Sir Reginald
Carpley.

The irate Lord stood stiffly and loudly berated his wife for her
infidelity. With thunder in his voice, he reminded her that he
had taken her from a miserable existence on a local run-down
farm, given her a fine home, provided her with servants,
expensive clothes and jewels, and almost anything she desired.

By this time the woman was crying inconsolably, his Lordship then
turned his wrath on his supposed friend:

“And as for you Reggie… you might at least stop while I’m
talking!”

Gareth’s interview http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10861224 on how he doesn’t really want to kill off cats (even though he also said he did – go figure) has a clever advert from mammoth of the cat “prince Nikolai Stroganof III”.

Looks like the “Lucky” country could have struck it again.

Great news. There have been a number of big finds for oil and gas recently.

With AGW discredited and huge reserves being found, things are looking up for the oil industry.

Have the French shifted the Somme or the Turks Gallipolli?

If I am wrong I hope somebody will correct me.
I understand that the present Highway One at Rangiriri runs directly through the middle of the November 1863 battle site.
The new road will run further to the east of the present road, thus away from the old battle site. Okay, it will run through the path where the “brave” defenders of Rangiriri escaped to their waka left on the banks of Lake Waikare.
I wonder if that old saying came from the battle;
“He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day”.
Well, they did fight, then they ran away, then they turned up at Orakau five or so months later to fight another day.

I see the Murri’s have had their Taniwha appeased.

Contract signed for expressway on historic site

Friday, 25, Jan, 2013 1:33PM

A $105 million contract has been signed to build the Rangiriri section of the Waikato Expressway.

Fletcher Construction will begin work on the 4.8 kilometre section next week.

Waikato Expressway Principal Project Manager, Richard Young, says this particular section of the expressway is significant as it was the site of the 1863 battle of Rangiriri – during New Zealand’s land wars.

The section will be completed by the end of 2016, and will include an interchange at the intersection of State Highway 1 and Te Kauwhata Road.
